Profile

As part of the Agriculture & Estates team, I specialise in all areas of Wills, Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Probate. I also have experience in Contentious Probate and how to avoid or mitigate disputes after death.

My key responsibilities are helping people plan for the future, deal with bereavement and the transition of farming partnerships from generation to generation.

I believe that clients choose me to act for them because they trust me to achieve the best result for them in a friendly and easy to understand manner. I act with professionalism without losing the personalised service which clients expect from their solicitor.   

I love my job because it is one of the most rewarding areas of law for client interaction. I am able to guide and help my clients in what can be the most challenging time in their lives. 

During my undergraduate Law Degree at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford, I achieved a First before going on to complete my Legal Practice Course at the University of Law, obtaining a Distinction grade.

Birkett Long has a strong relationship with St Mary’s School in Colchester, and I am proud to serve as one of its Governors. This rewarding position allows me to contribute to the local community by supporting the school and helping to further the education of its pupils.

I am also a Dementia Friend, which enables me to provide additional understanding in my work with clients during sensitive times.

Like most people, I enjoy spending time with friends and family; I also like travelling, finding new places to eat out and going to the gym.
